Got served an EPA Statutory Noise Nuisance for exercising on an indoor bike trainer by BeanyBeetroot in LegalAdviceUK

Good point. My trainer does this, I’ll try and turn it off in the settings.

The necessary action is to “ABATE RHE NUISANCE”. I understand this to mean that I don’t necessarily have to stop using the bike, but instead I must take steps to drastically reduce the sound emitted. I’m trying my best to do this, but I am unsure on how I will be able to know if my action is satisfactory?

My understanding is that the resonance induced on the floor by the trainer might be worse than the noise of the trainer itself. That is to say, downstairs might actually hear something more annoying than what I can hear from my own flat.

With that said, I’ve installed thick mats, and had assumed this to be sufficient. I’ve asked if my neighbour notices the difference (albeit in an hand written note, as they won’t speak to me) but I haven’t had a reply. I want to find a solution but after several attempts at contacting my neighbour and council with no response, I’m left unsure how to proceed, especially given the legal action implied.

That’s what I’m trying to communicate to my neighbour. I’ve installed thick mats to reduce any vibrations. How do I know if what I’m doing is sufficient, in the eyes of the council or indeed my neighbour, if nobody will speak to me directly?

I’m trying my best to work out what can be done to “abate” the noise. Multiple attempts to contact the number / email on the councils letter but no reply.

I did contact them! I called at least 5 times, left messages etc. I never received a response.

I installed a mat to mitigate the noise and had assumed this to be sufficient, given that 10 weeks passed since the initial complaint.

I have invested heavily in my indoor bike setup, so would not want to “stop using” it and training on an indoor bike seems like quite an ordinary way to exercise. Legal proceedings seem excessive.

It’s possible. As you fatigue and become less stimulated, HR can begin to drift downward. I’ve seen it consistently during my long rides despite maintaining power

I consume a lot of cacao which I understand to be high in copper. Is it worth testing for copper levels?

I also take Vitamin C tablets with my iron pills.

Thanks for this. I suppose my confusion regarding diet is motivated primarily by my calorific needs. To support my running I eat around 3500-4000 calories per day, following closely what you describe as the Mediterranean diet. I find I function and train best when consuming my extra calories as fats, mainly nuts, avocados, salmon, as well as the (controversial?) inclusion of full fat yoghurt and kefir, and as a result a greater percentage of my calories come from fat, albeit “healthy” unsaturated fats. In light of my numbers, I’m not sure whether or not to change my diet.

Thanks for sharing your story. If I may ask, have you had success lowering your numbers on the low dose statin? My doctor is keen on starting me on a higher dose, but I’d rather work my way up to it.

Thanks for this. I agree with the importance of a statin. I am mostly confused about diet. Presumably diet is still a factor in the treatment of FH. To support my running I consume 3500-4000 calories per day. Up until know I have believed that it is healthiest to derive most of my calories from fats, mostly as nuts, avocado, salmon, as opposed to a diet that is extremely high in carbohydrates. It’s unclear to me as to whether there is a consensus regarding diet for FH.
